Default Using/losing coolant(water)

Basically, Im losing water in my radiator. I had filled it about 3 weeks ago. I did run a bit warmer than usual yesterday so i chked it b4 work. About 10 inches below the top!
I borrowed the coolant pressure tester from autozone. How does it work exactly? I know it pressurizes the system to find leaks...but more specifics?
thanks

Ok, update, found the leak, its the waterpump. Where can one find a reasonably priced mechanical pump. Summit is expensive for meziere and doesn't offer mechanical?!
Any advice.
